Monsoon Season 2026 Forecast: Crop Planning Strategies for Indian Farmers

Transitioning from El Niño to La Niña

Meteorological models project a swift transition towards La Niña conditions by mid-summer 2026. La Niña historically brings stronger southwest monsoon currents and above-average rainfall across Central and Southern India, which is crucial for Kharif planting.

# Sowing Preparations for Kharif Crops

1. **Soybeans:** Farmers in Madhya Pradesh are preparing seed beds, targeting sowing windows immediately after the first monsoon shower.

**Pigeon Peas (Tur):** High market prices are encouraging a projected 15% increase in tur cultivation area.

**Rice:** Reservoir capacities are being monitored closely to manage nursery transplanting schedules.
